TOY.

Application filed January 22, 1926.

This invention relates to aerial toys, and contemplates the provision ofa tranie-like member which is adapted to be held in one hand, anddesigned to support a projectile, the latter being projected into theair incident to the unwinding of a cord therefrom, the inventionresiding in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts asclaimed.

In the drawing forming part of this application, like numerals ofreference indicate similar parts in the several views, and whereinFigure 1 is a side elevation oi the toy constructed in accordance withthe invention.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary detail view ol' the f *ame-lilte member.

Figure 3 is a sectional view through the propeller of the projectile.

Referring to the drawing in detail, 10 indicates a substantiallyU-shaped frame memher which terminates to provide eyes ll through whichthe stem 12 of the projectile passes. The stem supports a propeller 13which is bevelled as at 14. Supported by one oi the parallel portions ofthe 't'rame '10 is a substantially L-shaped piece of metal or,

other suitable material 15, which is arranged immediately beneath theadjacent eye 11, and this material supports the stem' of the projectile.As shown in Figures 1 and 2 this piece of material is relatively broadand has one end folded or bent upon itself to provide a sleevelikeportion adapted to surround the adjacent limb of the U-shaped ilrame,thus providing a construction where by this member can be easilyreplaced should it become broken, bent or otherwise in'ipaircd beyonduse. The stem is provided with a Serial No. 83,090.

bore or opening to receive one end of a string 17 which is adapted to bewound about the stem in a manner illustrated in Figure 1. The cord orstring has associated therewith a tinger receiving ring 18. In using thetoy, the frame 10 is held by the left hand, and the string forciblyunwound from the stem of the projectile, thereby rotating the latter ina manner which causes the projectile to shoot upwardly an appreciabledistance into the air. The toy is very simple in construction, and canbe manulactured at a very nominal cost.'

While it is believed that from the foregoing description, the nature andadvantages ot the invention will be readily apparent, I desire to haveit understood that I do not limit myself to what is herein shown anddescribed, and that such changes may be resorted to when desired as tallwithin the scope of what is claimed.

\Vhat I claim is A toy of the character described compris ing a framehaving parallel limbs terminating to provide aligned eyes, a projectileincluding a stem passed through said eyes, a propeller carried by theupper end or the stem, a substantially l -shaped member formed from asingle piece of material, and folded upon itself at one end to provide asleeve adapted to embrz-rce the adjacent limb of the frame, whereby saidmember is supported beneath the limb and used as a rest for the lowerend of the stem, and a flexible element adapted to be wound about thestem and unwound therefrom for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereol I aftlX my signature.
